The Ford EcoSport shows a fully clear roadworthiness record with five successive MOT passes and zero defects, marking a stable maintenance trend. In the 24 September 2025 test at 20,305 miles, the DVSA tester granted a pass with no advisories logged. Prior examinations on 20 September 2021, 14 September 2022, 18 September 2023 and 23 September 2024 repeated this clean outcome. Such consistency indicates the previous keepers addressed any required items before each annual deadline. The mileage pattern reveals exceptionally light use for a 2018 registration. At the 20 September 2021 examination the odometer read 6,617 miles. Twelve months later, on 14 September 2022, it showed 8,859 miles, a mere 2,242-mile increment. The 18 September 2023 test at 11,345 miles and the 23 September 2024 test at 13,682 miles sustained a low annual average near 2,500 miles. A sharp rise to 20,305 miles by September 2025 added 6,623 miles in one year. The record stays sparse and clean, with no gaps in testing. No tester ever flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion or exhaust emissions faults across the history. This implies statutory upkeep was met, yet low mileage and possible prolonged standing can mask perished rubber, seized handbrake mechanisms or subframe rust. A buyer should physically verify brake caliper release after a short drive, inspect tyre sidewalls for cracking and check structural integrity beneath the sills and suspension mounts. The recent mileage increase warrants a closer look at drivetrain oil condition and clutch wear, though the MOT data itself raises no alarm.
